Instructions 

A data entry proficient club-director can run a game and create an event's hand records via entry.htm for web posting and/or printing out (edit data file entry.js using simple text editor (e.g. metapad.exe or Notepad) then launch/refresh entry.htm (Internet Explorer compatible only).
If an event is scheduled as "with hand records" and for some reason "none are available", there can be a "shuffle and play start".
A practiced data entry person/director can create hand records by recording them in entry.js , saving that file and refreshing entry.htm .

Three of a deal's four hands are entered in entry.js (board number equals line number, North entered first, West second and East third, South autocompleted) quickest via the numPad and surrounding keys).
A=1, Ten=0 and from lesser honour to greater, above the numpad numbers, left to right, are assigned: J="/"  Q="*"  and K="-"
Suits for each direction are separated by periods "." directions are separated by the plus sign "+" and "Enter" separates each deal (new line is new deal).

EXAMPLE:
A North hand such as A54 5 KQJ7 AQJ65 can be entered as the suits-period-separated  154.5.-*/7.1*/65
West's J876 AKJ876 A T9 can be entered as   /876.1-/876.1.09
and East's T9 QT9 65432 432 can be entered as  09.*09.65432.432

Collecting into one deal those 3 hands, separated by "+" signs:
154.5.-*/7.1*/65+/876.1-/876.1.09+09.*09.65432.432

Prefix that with       addDeal("      and suffix with     ")      and you end up with:
addDeal("154.5.-*/7.1*/65+/876.1-/876.1.09+09.*09.65432.432")
Alternatively using the keyboard, rather than the quicker numpad and surrounding keys: addDeal("a54.5.kqj7.aqj65+j876.akj876.a.t9+t9.qt9.65432.432")

Those are two deal-representation-function-calls of the same deal.
Each such call need be on the line corresponding to the deal number in entry.js
When all deals have been entered in your editing entry.js , open/relaunch entry.htm

Setting Internet Explorer pagination for entry.htm isn't easy.
Number of hand records to print might be 1/3 x number of players
Printing costs per hand record is almost certainly higher than copying, but a trip is saved. Fast two-sided-printer?

Perhaps the best feature of entry.htm is the textbox at the bottom of the webpage.
The html code within that textbox is javascript free, compliant with all browsers!
It can be saved to an .html file and uploaded for online presentation of hand records (perhaps linked to a recap sheet, perhaps cross-referenced).

Alternative to a director's fetching of boards from a by-stand, or from an active table, or via a kibbitzing caddy,
in round one each table might be enlisted to fill out deal diagrams , to be entered as time permits. (Already numbered deals page: 1  2  3  4)

PAGINATION
Pagination can be a headache. Test your printer and Internet Explorer Page-Setup bottom and top margin settings in advance.
For me: Internet Explorer/File/Page-Setup/Printer: Bottom Margin 0.1 Top Margin 0.46
To conserve paper, print out page one "n" times, then flip the pile and print page twos.

Bridge Writer/Reporter/Web Columnist's Utility
Each deal diagram/box in entry.htm links from such as Deal 1 to another Internet-Explorer-compatible-only webpage/utility, that facilitates bridge-story-writing.
If opened via links within entry.htm, in IE, the same diagram should appear and additionally! a bidding diagram.
The auction can be entered via the IE address bar (then hit enter, and/or refresh) and an html formatted auction should appear.
If South isn't coincidentally declarer, a link like To Declarer South should appear.
Clicking that link should open a new instance of handTEMPLATE.htm with deal and auction diagrams rotated to make South declarer (newspaper bridge column standard).
Long ago it took me 50 minutes to format a bridge story diagram and auction in html.
Now it takes about 10.
If clubs/tournaments posted their hand records via entry.htm, it would takes less than 1 minute to send an auction descriptive link (under 2 minutes for html).
If clubs/tournaments posted online hand records in a suitable data format, those interested in sharing notes could be similarly enabled...via javascript and html.

"There was a hand last night, ignore the auction on that page,

Play went..."
